Tools to harmonize bulk RNA-seq matrices, optionally apply batch correction, and train cross-validated classification models using ranger, glmnet, or xgboost. Supports leakage-safe feature selection, permutation importance, SHAP-based interpretability, and calibration methods (Platt or isotonic). Provides stability metrics across folds, embeddings (PCA/UMAP), ROC visualization, SHAP dependence plots, and tidy ranked-gene tables for downstream analysis.

Our approach provides a way to assign continuous cell cycle phase using scRNA-seq data, and consequently, allows to identify cyclic trend of gene expression levels along the cell cycle. This package provides method and training data, which includes scRNA-seq data collected from 6 individual cell lines of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), and also continuous cell cycle phase derived from FUCCI fluorescence imaging data.

This package provides a streamlined workflow for the quanTIseq method, developed to perform the quantification of the Tumor Immune contexture from RNA-seq data. The quantification is performed against the TIL10 signature (dissecting the contributions of ten immune cell types), carefully crafted from a collection of human RNA-seq samples. The TIL10 signature has been extensively validated using simulated, flow cytometry, and immunohistochemistry data.

bambu is a R package for multi-sample transcript discovery and quantification using long read RNA-Seq data. You can use bambu after read alignment to obtain expression estimates for known and novel transcripts and genes. The output from bambu can directly be used for visualisation and downstream analysis such as differential gene expression or transcript usage.

KnowSeq proposes a novel methodology that comprises the most relevant steps in the Transcriptomic gene expression analysis. KnowSeq expects to serve as an integrative tool that allows to process and extract relevant biomarkers, as well as to assess them through a Machine Learning approaches. Finally, the last objective of KnowSeq is the biological knowledge extraction from the biomarkers (Gene Ontology enrichment, Pathway listing and Visualization and Evidences related to the addressed disease). Although the package allows analyzing all the data manually, the main strenght of KnowSeq is the possibilty of carrying out an automatic and intelligent HTML report that collect all the involved steps in one document. It is important to highligh that the pipeline is totally modular and flexible, hence it can be started from whichever of the different steps. KnowSeq expects to serve as a novel tool to help to the experts in the field to acquire robust knowledge and conclusions for the data and diseases to study.

RETROFIT is a Bayesian non-negative matrix factorization framework to decompose cell type mixtures in ST data without using external single-cell expression references. RETROFIT outperforms existing reference-based methods in estimating cell type proportions and reconstructing gene expressions in simulations with varying spot size and sample heterogeneity, irrespective of the quality or availability of the single-cell reference. RETROFIT recapitulates known cell-type localization patterns in a Slide-seq dataset of mouse cerebellum without using any single-cell data.

Single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) is widely used to investigate the composition of complex tissues since the technology allows researchers to define cell-types using unsupervised clustering of the transcriptome. However, due to differences in experimental methods and computational analyses, it is often challenging to directly compare the cells identified in two different experiments. scmap is a method for projecting cells from a scRNA-seq experiment on to the cell-types or individual cells identified in a different experiment.
